Nov 19, 2007 This one sports a very dark mahogany brown body with a massive, foamy tan head. The crown eventually settles to a 1mm blanket, leaving solar flare lacing in its wake. A quick swirl reveals a thin body. The aroma shows a lightly smoky overtone with chocolate, soy sauce, and earthy hops. The flavor backs this up. Smoked soy sauce, oak, baker’s chocolate, and a little coffee. Fairly light bodied and refreshing for the style, with a smooth, almost nitrogenated mouthfeel. Finishes roasty and dry. Pretty solid Schwarz. A pleasant surprise.

Nov 8, 2007 Pours a very dark brown / copper with a large light tan head. Real nice aroma of mild malts, cocoa, smoke. For a low % beer it has a pretty big flavor. The smoke comes out a little bolder along with chocolate, roasted malts and nuts. Pretty good.

Nov 7, 2007 (Bottle via trade with <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=9 target=blank>BeerandBlues2, thanks Brad!) Good stuff...Pours very dark brown, almost black with a tall, creamy, rocky tan head. Has a rather roasty aroma, like a stout, with notes of chocolate, coffee, caramel and molasses. Mouthfeel medium-full, fairly smooth, slightly chewy, very lightly fizzy. Flavor of dark chocolate, coffee roast, light molasses and caramel. A bit grassy at times in finish. Could drink alot of this.

Nov 3, 2007 Pours a deep, translucent reddish brown with a loose, frothy, tan head that laces nicely. The nose is blend of lightly smoked malt and milk chocolate. Light bodied and thin with fairly soft carbonation, a crisp, dry finish and a lingering smokiness. The flavor is of smoky malt, light chocolate and caramel with a slightly bitter, dry finish. This one’s pretty darn tasty.
